Product Details

Product Description

Ingram

"This first novel is about an abandoned 'family,' four children ages 6 to 13 . . . With $11 and change, little adult help and a great deal of adult hindrance, the four make their way from Rhode Island to Connecticut on the strength of courage, resourcefulness, good camping instincts and the sheer will to stay together and find a home . . . This is a glowing book . . . An enthralling journey to a gratifying end."--New York Times Book Review. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From the Publisher

HOMECOMING is consistently one of our all-time best school adoption titles. In fact, of the 300 top selling mass market books Ballantine has published in the past year, HOMECOMING ranks as number 32. That's right up there with Michael Crichton, Anne Rice, and Amy Tan. Curious to see what all the excitement was about, I was compelled to read it. I was not disappointed. This is a heartwarming story of child abandonment and how a determined 13-year-old (Dicey Tillerman) courageously leads her three younger siblings to the safety of a new home. We in the educational marketing department feel it's already a contemporary classic. Also available are free Teacher's Guides (394-21873). --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars Homecoming, April 21 2005
By A Customer
Ce commentaire est de: Homecoming (Mass Market Paperback)
Many of the people writing other reviews for this book, have shown that they lack intelligence. "IT was boring, so I don't like it" is not a sufficent or insightful review in any way. The middle of the book, where the Tillerman's walk around is essential to plot and character development. Without this section, the reader would not connect with the characters of the book. Also it wasn't boring, becasue the author added interesting people along the way to move the plot along. And, if the reader did not connect with the Tillerman's, then why would you care about the ending? Yet, since you can relate in some way with them, you want them to find a home and be happy. So even though I prefer fantasy over this type of genre, it is still and good piece of literature, hence the 4 out of 5.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't Put It Down!, Aug 30 2004
By Julie (Connecticut,USA) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: HOMECOMING (Mass Market Paperback)
I really enjoyed Homecoming by Cynthia Voit. I had to read the book for school and it turned out I liked it so much when I started reading it I stayed up all night wanting to know what happens next. It is a great book about four kids searching for shelter and love. It was sad and exciting at the same time. I applaud Cynthia Voit for her excellent writing skills on this book.
